Family-friendly tailors in Vietnam

Large family orders take longer than single pieces. At Ba Ri Tailor trousers have been made in a few hours, but large family orders can take 2.5 to 3 days, so order on your first day and leave time for fittings. As a guide to cost, a family order at Pink Lotus Tailor of two suits, two pairs of trousers, a shirt and two ties came to roughly €450.

If children need clothes too, check the range before you go in. Se Se Tailor, a small family-run shop run by two sisters, makes children's clothes, and so does BeBe Tailor, which works best for families who want everything made in one place. Orders can grow quickly once you start choosing: one reviewer at Thien Thi Tailor came for a couple of pieces and left with 22.

Pressure to buy more is low at most of these shops, and 137 of the 175 are described that way. At Blue Eye Tailor reviewers say staff give advice without pushing extra purchases, and one family of first-timers enjoyed the whole process. Still, get the price of each piece agreed in person: one 3-star review there says the price for a top and dress was higher than the one quoted by message, with a dispute over a lining, which the owner later refunded. See the Hoi An tailor prices guide for typical figures.
